FARM BILL CONSERVATION PROGRAMS  

NSAC Members Highlight Importance of Farm Bill’s Largest Conservation Program The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) applauds the Land Stewardship Project, Center for Rural Affairs, and Wild Farm Alliance for helping to elevate the voices of the farmers and ranchers who utilize and depend on the Conservation Stewardship Project (CSP). Their voices on Farm Bill conservation programs are more important now than ever, especially since the House and Senate farm bills that have been passed by their respective chambers differ significantly in how they approach working lands conservation programs.

The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) is an alliance of grassroots organizations that advocates for federal policy reform to advance the sustainability of agriculture, food systems, natural resources, and rural communities.

NSAC’s vision of agriculture is one where a safe, nutritious, ample, and affordable food supply is produced by a legion of family farmers who make a decent living pursuing their trade, while protecting the environment, and contributing to the strength and stability of their communities.

NSAC member groups advance common positions to support small and mid-size family farms, protect natural resources, promote healthy rural communities, and ensure access to healthy, nutritious foods by everyone.  By bringing grassroots perspectives to the table normally dominated by big business, NSAC levels the playing field and gives voice to sustainable and organic farmers.
